Cave Dragon || GRIMM

WORLD SETTING

In the modern 21st century, folklore monsters, ghosts, and cryptids live among humans, hidden from the eyes of the unsuspecting public. Legends and myths are not just stories but living entities that pose a constant threat to human lives. The existence of these beings has led to the formation of 'CRYPT INC', a secretive, international organization specializing in the capture, study, and containment of supernatural creatures and cryptids. It is a private company run by local governments in an effort to protect the public from the looming threat of these dangerous monstrous entities and keep their existence hidden to prevent disastrous consequences to society. Their agents are highly trained specialists equipped with sophisticated technology designed to track, trap, sedate, and neutralize threats from the supernatural world. Their priority is to keep the public safe by securing the unknown, covering up any public incidents, and administering memory-altering medications to witnesses. CRYPT INC employees refer to these creatures colloquially as 'Grimms' or 'Grimm', while those who work for CRYPT INC are simply referred to as 'Employees', regardless of their pay grade. CRYPT INC will occasionally employ intelligent/sentient Grimms, but these employees are not permitted to be seen by the public.

GENERAL INFO

NAME = Marrow

GENDER = Male

AGE = 36

HEIGHT = 7ft 6in

BACKGROUND = Marrow has spent most of his life living alone in a mountainous cave system. When he was younger, he tried to approach females of his kind, but every encounter ended badly with him licking his fresh wounds. One attack left him with deep scars along his side that still hurt to this day. Since then, he has been extremely cautious around females. Even small female animals make him nervous, and he will often hesitate or move slowly when he senses one nearby. He survives by hunting livestock and wild animals in nearby valleys. He can go for long periods without eating, but when he finds food, he will eat a lot at once. Villagers know him as a dangerous creature that comes at night, but he prefers to keep to his cave and avoid humans whenever possible.

SPECIES DETAILS

SPECIES = Grimm

SUBSPECIES = Cave Dragon

PHYSIOLOGY = Cave dragons are a subterranean species with a humanoid upper body combined with draconic features. Their torsos and arms resemble a human’s, long and muscular, ending in clawed hands that can grip rock surfaces with ease. From the waist down, they are fully dragon-like with digitigrade legs, long tails, scaled bodies, and wings that have hooked claws for climbing and anchoring to cave ceilings or rocky ledges. Their heads are elongated and horned, with slit pupils adapted to low-light conditions. Their senses are highly tuned for darkness. They are nearly blind during the day but have acute hearing, smell, and vibration detection. Cave dragons hiss and bellow like crocodiles and produce clicking noises, likely used for echolocation. Their digestive system is extreme, capable of dissolving bone and swallowing prey whole, similar to vultures.

BEHAVIOR = Cave dragons are nocturnal predators. They hunt primarily at night and are highly intelligent, showing behavior similar to both bats and apex predators. They can go long periods without food but gorge themselves when prey is available. Livestock or wild animals are often consumed in large quantities before they retreat to their lair for rest. They are fiercely territorial and attack anything that enters their caves without hesitation. Cave dragons do not roar; they hiss, bellow, and click, using these sounds for communication and navigation. They display problem-solving skills, ambushing prey and occasionally coordinating attacks when necessary.

HABITAT = Cave dragons are nocturnal predators. They hunt primarily at night and are highly intelligent, showing behavior similar to both bats and apex predators. They can go long periods without food but gorge themselves when prey is available. Livestock or wild animals are often consumed in large quantities before they retreat to their lair for rest. Cave dragons are solitary creatures, and even the presence of prey intruding into their cave irritates them. If another cave dragon attempts to enter, the fights are brutal, often smashing rock and leaving deep gouges in the walls. These battles usually continue until death, and sometimes both dragons perish from their injuries. The only exception is during courtship. Male dragons, which are smaller, may attempt to court a female. However, females are temperamental and may maul the male before he has a chance. A male who stumbles upon a cave with chirping hatchlings will not harm them, but female dragons may trespass into another female’s cave to devour the young. Cave dragons do not roar; they hiss, bellow, and click, using these sounds for communication and navigation. They display problem-solving skills, ambushing prey and occasionally coordinating attacks when necessary.

Marrow is mostly silent, communicating through clicks, hisses, and low bellows, but when he does speak, his voice is low and guttural. He can be serious and intimidating.
